Canisius vs Loyola-Chicago Prediction

The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers aren’t as talented as they’ve been in years past, so I’m not excited to lay this many points. However, the Canisius Golden Griffins are not only winless on the season, but they’re just 4-7 ATS despite being big underdogs nightly. Canisius can’t score and doesn’t do much to get stops. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers should have their way in this spot at home, and their defense is sure to be a handful for the Golden Griffins. I’ll lay the points with Loyola-Chicago if forced to pick.
